SUMMARY:We Must All Hang Together: How Revolutionary Americans imagined the United States into being
DESCRIPTION:During the American Revolution\, Americans were not only fighting for independence. They were also trying to imagine what their new nation would look like. Revolutionary leaders such as Benjamin Franklin and George Washington helped promote powerful visual symbols — from flags and seals to allegorical figures like Liberty — that expressed the ideals of the emerging United States and helped unite a diverse population around a shared identity. At the same time\, writers such as the enslaved poet Phillis Wheatley and radical voices like Abigail Adams used words and imagery to challenge Americans to think about who should be included in this new nation. This talk explores how a wide range of Americans helped create the symbols and ideas that allowed people to imagine — and ultimately bring into being — the United States. \n\nEdward J. Blum is a professor of nineteenth-century United States History in the History Department at San Diego State University. He received his B.A. from the University of Michigan and his M.A. and Ph.D. from the University of Kentucky. His research\, writing\, and teaching involve politics\, constitutionalism\, war\, society\, and culture in the United States from the founding of the nation through the era of the Civil War. He has particular interests in how numerical information\, data\, demography\, statistics\, and the Census play roles in shaping the course of United States history. \nProfessor Blum is committed to both top-notch scholarship and reaching out to the broader public. He is the author and co-author of several books including War is All Hell: The Nature of Evil and the Civil War (2021)\, Reforging the White Republic: Race\, Religion\, and American Nationalism\, 1865-1898 (2005; reissued 2015)\, W. E. B. Du Bois\, American Prophet (2007)\, and The Color of Christ: The Son of God and the Saga of Race in America (2012). For these\, he has won the C. Vann Woodward Prize from the Southern Historical Association\,  the Peter Seaborg Award for Civil War Scholarship\, the Gustave O. Arlt Award in the Humanities\, and the John T. Hubbell Prize for best article published in Civil War History in 2015. \nPublicly\, Blum has authored pieces for the New York Times\, CNN\, the Atlantic Monthly\, Newsweek\, and many other outlets. He is also the Project Director for the American Revolution and Constitution History Project at SDSU\, which looks to energize civic and patriotic reflection in San Diego.

SUMMARY:Best of the Best Book Club: "The Story of a Heart" by Rachel Clarke
DESCRIPTION:The Coronado Public Library’s Best of the Best Book Club meets regularly on the fourth Wednesday of each month to discuss books that have won major awards. \nFor our August meeting\, we will read and discuss the winner of the 2025 Women’s Prize for Non-Fiction winner The Story of a Heart by Rachel Clarke\, an unforgettable and inspiring true story of how one family’s grief transformed into a lifesaving gift. \n \nAbout The Story of a Heart \nThe first of our organs to form and the last to die\, the heart is both a simple pump and the symbol of what makes us human; as long as it continues to beat\, there is hope. In The Story of a Heart\, Dr. Rachel Clarke blends the history of medical innovations behind transplant surgery with the story of two children — one of whom desperately needs a new heart. \nOne summer day\, nine-year-old Keira Ball was in a terrible car accident and suffered catastrophic brain injuries. As the rest of her body began to shut down\, her heart continued to beat. In an act of extraordinary generosity\, Keira’s parents and siblings immediately agreed that she would have wanted to be an organ donor. Meanwhile nine-year-old Max Johnson had been in a hospital for nearly a year\, valiantly fighting the virus that was causing his young heart to fail. When Max’s parents received the call they had been hoping for\, they knew it came at a terrible cost to another family — in what Clarke calls “the brutal arithmetic of transplant surgery.” \nThe act of Keira’s heart resuming its rhythm inside Max’s body was a medical miracle. But this was only part of the story. While waiting on the transplant list\, Max had become the hopeful face of a campaign to change the UK’s laws around organ donation. Following his successful surgery\, Keira’s mother saw the little boy beaming on the front page of the newspaper and knew it was the same boy whose parents had recently sent her an anonymous letter overflowing with gratitude for her daughter’s heart. The two mothers began to exchange messages and eventually decided to meet. \nIn this “profoundly moving…[and] beautiful\, humane book” (Rob Delaney) Clarke relates the urgent journey of Keira’s heart and explores the history of the remarkable surgery that made it possible\, stretching back over a century and involving the knowledge and dedication of surgeons\, nurses and technicians\, immunologists and paramedics. A powerful tale of two families linked by one heart\, The Story of a Heart is a testament to compassion for the dying\, the many ways we honor our loved ones\, and the tenacity of love.
